okay, so the 600 posts a day thing was a stupendously trash idea, but how about a social network that only updated once a day? you could create a new post at any time, but people wouldn't see it till the network refreshed. that way you could read it in the morning, compose some replies, and wouldn't get sucked in to the doomscroll

wait, that's the postal service. i've invented the postal service

What creative movements are like the demoscene, but aren't the demoscene?

Things I can think of: livecoding has communities from various walks of life. And the game jam communities have some similarities in terms of bringing graphics, music and code together, to a deadline.

But what else? Who else has quite so many parties, for one thing?

edit: thanks for your kind thoughts. sorry i didn't do more than hit like, but i couldn't really find words. i appreciate it.

We're very sorry to have lost our dog last night. he was coming up to 13 years old, and was a full-on bundle of joy and chaos till the last. He even went to Outline demoparty this year. Though it's sad beyond words not to have him around, I have a deep gladness for the long time we had together, and all the awesome stuff we got to do.

years ago i invented a new meal. it's based on a combination of the danish dish "burning love" and the british dish "toad in the hole." it is a heap of mash with caramelised onions and gravy on a base of yorkshire pudding and sausage, and i call it "burning toad in the love hole."

despite having seemingly been created for the purpose of having a great name, i promise you it is delicious

software that reminds you of a song: i'll start.

i just opened onenote for the first time in a while and immediately my brain started singing "OneNote! (onenote!) ooh, one note in heaven..."

today i took delivery of a tiltfive! which is awesome, and i can't wait to develop for it! but the dining room table is the only table in the house big enough to take the board. as a desktop user who does not keep their desktop in the dining room, this is not ideal

i'm usually a fairly low maintenance enby- my relationship to my body is grudging acceptance. but current contract, as well as being exhausting in a million other unnecessary ways, is very blokey and it's making me really dysphoric

yeah, technically i could come out to them, but i've only got a month and a half to go and the one time i wore a flowery blouse on zoom i got casual snark. i do not feel good about that idea

the place sucks my soul. getting paid and getting out

AI chat is only helpful until in-chat advertising becomes the norm, at which point it will become a massive cognitohazard

whenever i have to write a PIN down, i always put a £ in front of it and a . in the middle so that at a casual glance it will look like a price and not a security leak

ever wanted a "skip" button in a real world conversation? simply tap the other person on the forehead and they will end their current dialogue

90s lyrics take: people gave Des'ree a hard time for the lyrical content of Life, but as a song about insecurity it's actually appropriate, well-chosen, and witty.

We should declare a truce on the ghost/piece of toast rhyme, and set our sights on the true villain, which is the lyrical content of Right In The Night by Jam and Spoon.

As someone who has long wanted a small mobile phone again, I was ecstatic to learn that someone has apparently released an Android phone with a 3.5" screen in the past year.

But, oh, oh god. What the fuck. Why does it look so awful?

in a curious way, reddit's new api charging model has improved reddit. and most curiously, it has sent the improvements into the past.

that is to say: up until a month ago, any mention of reddit on my timeline was about what a dying shithole it still was. but now, apparently, it's an internet treasure suddenly being consumed by a capitalist land grab.
